Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a cooking turner, and more particularly, to a cooking turner that has excellent flexibility and easily enters under a food.

Conventionally, as such a cooking turner, for example, a metal spatula part (flat plate) is attached to the tip of the handle part, and a curving surface is provided on the spatula part for easy return of food during cooking. A turner has already been devised (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-231694 A

  However, although the above-described conventional cooking turner has the advantage of being easy to rewind even if it is a tentative or soft food, the spatula part has a curved surface on the tip side, so the spatula under the food There is a problem that it is difficult to enter, especially in the case of dishes that spread all the way to the peripheral side (corner) such as a frying pan (for example, omelet, hot cake, etc.) In combination with this, there is a problem that the spatula part does not follow the side surface of the same circumference and is difficult to enter under the ingredients.

  In addition, in such a conventional cooking turner, depending on the amount of force applied, the curled surface of the spatula part rebounds unexpectedly due to elastic force, and it is feared that ingredients will be scattered, There is a problem that it is difficult to wash.

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and is excellent in flexibility, regardless of the size of cooking utensils such as a pan or a frying pan, using the outer peripheral edge (tip) of the spatula as a fulcrum. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooking turner that is convenient for cooking and easy to clean, such as by simply applying force to press the handle against the frying pan, the slit can be expanded to enter under the food.

  In order to solve the conventional problems as described above and achieve the intended purpose, the structure of the present invention includes a handle portion having a predetermined length, and a spatula portion provided at the tip of the handle portion. The cooking turner is provided with a cooking turner in which at least one or more slits are formed in the spatula portion.

  Further, the slit is preferably formed in an arc shape, and by extension, the slit is preferably formed concentrically at a predetermined interval.

  The present invention is configured as described above, and at least one or more slits are formed in the spatula portion, so that the spatula portion is easily bent, so that it can easily enter under the foodstuff. Instead of washing with a bundler, the sponge bundler can be washed between the bent slits, so that the corners of the slit can be washed finely.

  In addition, since the slit is formed in an arc shape, it becomes easy to bend evenly from any direction, so that it can enter under the food regardless of the dominant arm (right-handed, left-handed) and improve cooking skill. .

  Furthermore, by making the slits concentric arcs at a predetermined interval, slits having different sizes from the second arc, the third arc, and the fourth arc can be used together, so the outer peripheral edge (tip) of the spatula portion By simply applying a force to press the handle to the frying pan with the fulcrum as the fulcrum, the second arc, the third arc, and the fourth arc expand to enter under the ingredients, so that cooking utensils such as pans and frying pans can be used. It can provide a convenient cooking turner that can be easily returned regardless of its size.

  In addition, since the cooking turner of the present invention has a simple configuration, it can be supplied to users as a low price and suitable for mass production. is there.

  A plurality of slits are formed in a spatula portion formed in a circular shape with a flexible material so as to be arranged in a concentric arc shape with a predetermined interval.

  Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A in the figure shows an example of the implementation of the cooking turner according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking turner A includes a handle portion 1 having a predetermined length and the handle portion. 1 and a spatula portion 2 provided at the tip of 1.

  The handle portion 1 is formed from, for example, a heat-resistant synthetic resin material or metal, and a spatula portion 2 is integrally connected to the tip.

  As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the spatula part 2 has a disk shape with increased flexibility by reducing the thickness, and the slit 3 is parallel to the outer peripheral edge 2a. 3 ... are drilled in a concentric arc shape at regular intervals.

  In other words, the slits 3, 3... Have a second arc 3a having a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral edge 2a (first arc) of the spatula portion 2, and a third arc 3b having a smaller diameter than the second arc 3a. And the 4th circular arc 3c of diameter smaller than this 3rd circular arc 3b is comprised, and the flexibility of the spatula part 2 is improved, such as being easy to bend equally from any direction.

  In addition, the presence of such slits 3, 3... Allows the air layer to be held between the foods, so that it is needless to say that the spatula from the foods is improved.

  The cooking turner A of the present invention configured as described above has slits 3, 3... Formed in the spatula portion 2 in a concentric arc shape, so that the outer peripheral edge 2a side of the spatula portion 2 is the bottom of the frying pan. 4, it is easy to bend by pressing down, and as shown in FIG. 4, from the tip side, the second arc 3a, the third arc 3b, and the fourth arc 3c can be brought into contact with the frying pan bottom 4 while increasing the diameter in this order. Therefore, it becomes easier to put under the ingredients.

  In particular, in the case of dishes that spread to the peripheral side of the frying pan (for example, omelet, hot cake, etc.), if the spatula part 2 is difficult to enter under the ingredients due to the size of the frying pan, the outer peripheral edge of the spatula part 2 By simply applying force to press the handle 1 against the frying pan using 2a as a fulcrum, the diameter of the second arc 3a, the third arc 3b, and the fourth arc 3c described above expands and enters under the food, so that it is convenient It is.

  In addition, since the spatula portion 2 is easily bent after use, in other words, the tip of the sponge bundle is not put into the slits 3, 3. , 3... In a state where the diameter is greatly expanded), the sponge bundles can be inserted and washed, so that even fine dirt at the corners of the slits 3, 3. Incidentally, after washing, the slits 3, 3... Of the spatula portion 2 can be fitted and erected on a free end portion such as a frying pan.

  The cooking turner of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be freely modified within the scope of the purpose of the present invention. The present invention encompasses all of them. . For example, the slits 3, 3... Shown in the present embodiment can not only improve the flexibility and make the spatula part 2 easily enter under the food as described above, but also, for example, the slits 3, 3. Can be used to remove lye or sauce.

  Also, when you want to make a circular cut in the food, you can easily make an arc-shaped cut just by putting a knife etc. along the slits 3, 3... If you put ketchup, fresh cream, whipped or chocolate powder along these slits 3, 3, etc. while placed, it can be used for decoration such as painting ketchup beautifully like a rainbow.

  The shape of the spatula portion 2 and the number of slits 3, 3... Shown in the present embodiment are not limited to the present embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. Needless to say, it can be formed into an appropriate shape such as a triangular shape (not shown), a heart shape (see FIG. 5B), or the like (see FIG. 5A).
